Went to the national rail museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin today. Some cool shit there. Here's the photos.

I drive by one of these Big Boys on a regular basis. It's been turned into a sort of billboard/sculpture.

You know another one of these massive Fuckers is about to return to the rails soon?

Much STRONK.

Steam trains are so stupidly powerful - even passenger locos like the A1 Peppercorn (the Tornado used on Top Gear) can have wheelspin at 70mph.

Fun fact i learned at the museum...big boy was the unofficial name for these but because everyone from mechanics to the media called them that, Union Pacific basically just said "fuck it" and made it the official name

Ya the Big Boy should be done by next year.

Imagine a triple header with the 844 and 3985 and 4014

That's probably enough torque to make the Earth start spinning in the opposite direction.

When you're that much of a boss, you don't need much of a cattle guard.

I used to think A4s were ugly when I was young, until I saw the Mallard at the York Railway Museum. Fucking gorgeous. I fell in love with it instantly.
